Hi everyone

I am really confused with the situation I have faced with my citizenship application. Can you give me some hints for what I can do?

I submitted my application about a month ago, with more than 1150 days of physical presence credit. About 275 days of my credit was accumulated during about 550 days I was in Canada as a visitor, waiting for my PR application to be processed by CIC (I was being sponsored by my husband, who was a PR living in Canada at the time).

Today, I received a mail from CPC Sydney with a cover letter and my entire application package. The letter indicates that "based on the review of the information provided by you, and verification of your time in Canada prior to becoming a permanent resident, we have determined that you were not physically present in Canada for the minimum 1095 days. This discrepancy can occur for a number of reasons, however, most of the time this is due to an error in physical presence calculation. In your particular case, some or all of the time reported on the calculator (prior to Permanent Resident date) could not be verified in our records."

In my application package, I had sent them the copies of all of my flight itineraries as well as the passport stamps for every single time I have left and returned back to Canada. I even have Canada border's stamp for every entry I had during my pre-PR period. I think it is likely that they have missed one or more entry records in their database. What do you think I can do to let them know that the fault is not on me?

Any advice would be really appreciated.

December Applicant here - I had received FP request on Mar 27. Since I was out of Canada,
I had my FP taken today April 21, by an RCMP accredited company at Windsor. The guy who took my FP said that RCMP would send it directly to IRCC. How would I know that it has been sent and received by IRCC - any idea

Call RCMP to verify it was sent to IRCC. Verifying if IRCC able to get it would be a bit hard to check. You can try calling their customer service hotline.

Can someone please update my timeline:

ID: Zach
Location: Hamilton (currently incorrectly listed as Toronto)
App Type: Single
Physical Presence: 1497
  • App Sent: Oct 11, 2017
  • Arrived: Oct 13, 2017
  • AOR: Nov 2, 2017
  • In Progress: Nov 22, 2017
  • Test Invite Letter Date: February 8, 2018
  • Test Interview Date: February 22, 2018
  • Decision Made Date (ecas): April 19, 2018
Took a LONG time between the test date and the decision made date. I'm assuming its due to extensive travel history.
